Description

Take in unparalleled panoramic bay views from every room of this sophisticated modern beach home, ideally located on one of the most sought-after bayfront properties with water on three sides of the home. Complete with a private 50-foot dock, boat lift, and double jet ski lift, this exceptional residence was impressively designed, featuring high-end finishes and craftsmanship throughout. The expansive great room, with floor-to-ceiling windows on two sides, effortlessly frames sweeping views of the water and seamlessly blends the living, dining, and gourmet kitchen spaces. A large work island, bar with seating, and premium appliances elevate this culinary and entertaining space with easy access to a screened porch and open deck with views that are unable to be duplicated. The main level also offers a cozy family room, two guest bedrooms, and a full bathroom, along with a convenient powder room for guests. Upstairs, the bayfront primary suite is a tranquil retreat with its own private waterfront deck. Three generously-sized guest rooms each feature en-suite bathrooms, ensuring ample space and privacy for visitors. On the ground level, a spacious workshop and covered patio provide the perfect setting for crab feasts and relaxation, while the brick paver patio offers an ideal spot for evening bonfires by the water. The outdoor shower with a changing area makes clean-ups after a day on the beach or boat a breeze, and a two-car garage plus second one-car garage provide ample storage and convenience for all your vehicles, beach gear, kayaks, canoes, boating accessories, and bikes. Additional highlights include an elevator shaft for future conversion, geothermal hvac, and a location that’s impossible to duplicate—situated on a peninsula with sweeping views of the bay and wetlands, yet just moments from the beach. Homes of this caliber, in such a prime location, are a rare offering.
